Name:
Location: Inverness, Scotland

I'm a Brit/Yank who has now settling back in Scotland with wife Tracy after living in New Zealand and traveling in Australia for a couple of years. Having contributed random thoughts on life in the Antipodes I now blog some impressions of returning to my native Scotland after 22 years away, and also document my marathon training to keep myself motivated. I post pictures at www.timcooke.com which also help to tell the story of our travels.

More Slang

Back working as a dentist gets me talking to the locals and two phrases crop up regularly:

Munted - As in "My tooth is munted"; means falling apart, decrepit.

Sook - Unlike in Scotland where a sook is a "suck-up", here "I'm a sook" means "I'm a wimp", commonly used by people who use being a sook as a reason for wanting an injection prior to dental care.
